does anyone on this list have a solenoid? something that can pull a pound or
two of force, from a distance of 1/4" or more, ideally. 12-24 volts would be
great, although we could do 120V if necessary.
thank you

Awesome!
Any response about the missing solenoid? The one they sell as a replacement
part is pricey ($210).
What ended up being the issue we were having with the steppers?

after you guys left i got both X and Y axes
working properly, in the
correct
direction, and the endstops too! now i was even able to home it!
here's the repo:
https://github.com/sudoroom/Marlin/tree/quickcircuit
marlin can be uploaded with regular arduino, it's an arduino mega 2560
we still need to enter the correct values for stuff like
DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT
DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE
DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION
although really only the first one is necessary.
then we need to either find a solenoid or use this servo to do the Z axis,
and
configure marlin to control it appropriately from a Z command or whatever Z
instruction gets produced by stuff like PCB2GCODE
